First thing that pops in my head is Doylestown Girl. No matter when this song was written I immediately thought it was weird to put it on an album when it was so clearly about Megan. A lot of us saw the Instagram posts when they broke up.

It reminds me so much of how Louis CK did things. The way he towed the line in his comedy basically confirming the rumors about him. I know it's not the same thing exactly but DG just seems like Ryan putting something out there to apologize in a way he can't or even worse justify his behavior. Like "hey here's a song about how awesome you are so I can't be a total dick the right?" or Phoebe is "Bob Dylan" etc etc.

These women are brave and should be shown respect but I'm sure they will get attacked by assholes.

It just sucks, Ryan has been a huge part of my music listening life and now what?

I am not a perfect man and I have made many mistakes. To anyone I have ever hurt, however unintentionally, I apologize deeply and unreservedly.

But the picture that this article paints is upsettingly inaccurate. Some of its details are misrepresented; some are exaggerated; some are outright false. I
would never have inappropriate interactions with someone I though was underage. Period.

As someone who has always tried to spread joy through my music and my life, hearing that some people believe I caused them pain saddens me greatly. I am resolved to work to be the best man I can be. And I wish everyone compassion, understanding and healing.
